Financial Aid Office

A college education is a major investment. However, it is an investment of time, dedication, and money that will seem small when you realize the profits of such an education.

Financial Aid

The Financial Aid Office administers financial assistance programs to benefit eligible students and families who are unable to afford the cost of a college education. Our goal is to help students avail themselves of federal, state and institutional financial aid programs available to them. Financial aid specialists are available to assist students with the application process, eligibility requirements, and money management guidance. Visit the Financial Aid website for information.

Veterans Services

Veterans Affairs specialists are available to help you and your dependents enroll at Carteret CC, pay for college, and tap into the rich network of support and services to help transition into and through college toward your graduation and/or transfer. Visit the Veterans Services website for information.

Carteret Community College’s financial aid professionals are expected to maintain exemplary standards of professional conduct in all aspects of carrying out their responsibilities, specifically including all dealings with any entities involved in any manner in student financial aid, regardless of whether such entities are involved in a government sponsored, subsidized, or regulated activity.

In doing so, a financial aid professional should:

  • Refrain from taking any action for his or her personal benefit.
  • Refrain from taking any action he or she believes is contrary to law, regulation, or the best interests of the students and parents he or she serves.
  • Ensure that the information he or she provides is accurate, unbiased, and does not reflect any preference arising from actual or potential personal gain.
  • Be objective in making decisions and advising his or her institution regarding relationships with any entity involved in any aspect of student financial aid.
  • Refrain from soliciting or accepting anything of other than nominal value from any entity (other than an institution of higher education or a governmental entity such as the U.S. Department of Education) involved in the making, holding, consolidating or processing of any student loans, including anything of value (including reimbursement of expenses) for serving on an advisory body or as part of a training activity of or sponsored by any such entity.
  • Disclose to his or her institution, in such manner as his or her institution may prescribe, any involvement with or interest in any entity involved in any aspect of student financial aid.
Adopted by National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators Board of Directors, May 2007
